The PROBLEM With New York's Skyscrapers ...

The B1M
About this episode

This week we’re heading to the New York City to talk about Tomorrow's Build's latest video "The Problem With New York’s Skyscrapers" - thousands of Manhattan's tall buildings now HAVE to change *cough* we're looking at YOU 432 Park Avenue *cough*


Later in the episode, we look at Wuhan’s 3-intertwined skyscrapers by Zaha Hadid Architects AND updated plans for London’s £450M Liverpool Street overhaul by Herzog & de Meuron.


We end the show with a secretive riddle emailed in from the one and only "Jacob Garlic" (we're pretty confident it's NOT the actual Jacob Garlic... but still... it's fun). The email is titled: "The Garlic Enigma: Unearth the Hidden Heir to the Flatiron Building" - says it all, doesn't it?
